On the Brewers telecast the umpire is wearing a camera on his mask. Real good idea of just how fast those pitches are coming in. Makes you appreciate big league hitters and umpires. There is technology to replace them if they can't do it. Weird how some almost never miss a call and the next one misses one or more in every at bat.

After losing 7 in a row, the Indians have now won 5 in a row. Unbelievably, they have the best record in baseball again. But, the schedule is getting tougher. Be hard to hang onto the best record.

The Phillies have won one in a row.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Going to be tough for anyone to move much in the Cubs division for the next three days. 2 of three the cubs over the indians is my optimistic prediction, with the reds winning two over the cards. pirates losing two to the padres, and brewers losing two of three to the dodgers. Time will tell. I don't bet on these things though as I'm often wrong. lol Sweep for the Phillies coming up over those fish. Well, I guessed one right. The Brewers managed to score one more run than the Dodgers today but looking at the highlights it appears they just got given the game on errors and were out-hit 9-4. Cubs, Bucks and Cards couldn't manage to win one game of the last three. How pathetic.

Brewers managed to salvage a split with the dodgers in a four game series. Had to rally late to take the last game. Nice having Devin Williams back to close out games. Our fill in closer is scheduled to be in town pitching on rehab for the T-Rats tonight. Benefit of having a minor league club so close. They can drive up instead of having to get on the plane. Getting back some good arms back in the pen for the stretch run will be helpful. The 20 year old rookie continues to carry the offense. His huge contract before he ever stepped on a MLB diamond is looking to be the steal of the century.

I was surprised to see how many errors and bad ball handling the Dodgers had. It must be their offence that carries them most games because defensively they really suck. Sometimes when good teams play good teams, the pursuit of perfection causes mistakes to happen. Mookie is a pretty good defender, but the Brewer’s reputation for taking the extra base has him rushing to get the ball in so he pulls his glove up too soon. It happens. Dodgers made a lot of plays in the series so I wouldn’t call them bad defensively. Brewers are still one of the only teams in the league to not lose four games in a row. Meyers has been the most reliable pitcher. He was in the first round of cuts this spring so that tells you where he started the year.They moved him up to face the dodgers. He continues to get better as his confidence grows. This next series will be tough with the arms that are scheduled to pitch.

Salary packages for top three in Dodgers lineup about $1.2 BILLION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They can afford it. They have lots of fans that spend a lot of money on them. If anyone liked the Brewers they would have more money to spend too. LOL

Home Run Nola on the mound tonight, he has been rocked for 22 home runs this season. Can anyone top that?

They also gave up 2 and 4 in their last start. They pitch this weekend so he better give up a couple if he wants to keep his lead. The brewers go for depth and not top end when it comes to pitching. Lol
